SMH: Rail threat to Bulldogs

[bobmar28]

I don't believe the article was claiming that, so jump off the front foot and get onto the back foot. In fact just sit down altogether.

The whole article implies Bulldog fans were resposible for all those events which is untrue.
Mind you if much more of this sort of stuff is proven I'll have to find another club to take the family to.

Actually it doesnt, immediately reading it I found myself thinking how the two youths at Richmond, the dude with the club and the molotov incidents probably werent committed by dogs fans.

Train crews are threatening to boycott services to and from Bulldogs rugby league games after a series of violent attacks, some involving the team's fans.

 

[mattyg]

and now apparently we're responsible for stuff that happens on the Richmond line??! ridiculous.

i can only wonder what people who aren't as wise as ink here would be thinking about the dogs this week.

gutter journalism this article.

 

[Dr Crane]

how do they know that they were dogs jerseys fom a moving train.... they could have been north melbourne kangaroo jerseys if they looked close enough....:sarcasm:

North Melbourne don't have any fans.

 

[Timmah]

Aren't they just the "Kangaroos"?

 

[Ice777]

Aren't they just the "Kangaroos"?

Correct. The old diehards still like to call them North or North Melbourne but they dropped that name about 8 years ago.

 

[big pat]

as far as i know, trains terminate at bankstown on weekends, and are replace by buses to lidcome station, anyway we know what the media are about, never let the truth get in the way of a story.

 

[meltiger]

^^ Actually the club song still refers to North Melbourne. They are the North Melbourne football club, competing as the Kangaroos.


But yes, they have no fans

 

[Timmah]

Their logo is

KANGAROOS
North Melbourne Football Club

 

[meltiger]

^ Are you a football club member Tim?

If so, are you a member of the Bulldogs RL club or the Canterbury-Bankstown DRLFC ? My guess would be the latter? Regardless of what the fixture may read.

The Western Bulldogs down here are exactly the same, if you ever read their financials, they are the 'Footscray Football Club, trading as the Western Bulldogs'

 

[Timmah]

I'm a member of the Bulldogs RL club.

 

[meltiger]

They actually call it the Bulldogs RL club? Even the financials? Well there you go, learnt something new I always assumed it to just be a 'cosmetic' club name change.

 

[Timmah]

Bulldogs Rugby League Club Ltd sorry.

 

[cumberlandsashes81]

Your friend is the ASIC website... The name of the Football club is officially:

"BULLDOGS RUGBY LEAGUE LTD"

If you do an ASIC search for the name of the organisation you get...

"Former Name(s)

CANTERBURY-BANKSTOWN RUGBY LEAGUE CLUB LTD
CANTERBURY-BANKSTOWN DIST RUGBY LEAGUE CLUB LTD"

Most of the NRL clubs still retain their DRLC or DRLFC LTD company name and limited by guarantee status. The Bulldogs are, however, special.

Is it true about those Fans almost destroying a train carriage coming back from a Dogs game in June?

 

[Dr Crane]

I can't wait until i'm a member of the Auckland Warriors.

Come on you Orcas.

 

[Timmah]

I would imagine it is and if it's widely known that they were 'Dogs fans by their jerseys, then I'm astonished no arrests were made and that it hasn't come out sooner.

 

[chileman]

So if they can identify them by their jerseys why can't they identify them and f**king well arrest the idiots?

As for the rest of the accusations - people throwing molotovs at trains around Bankstown and Yagoona - where's the proof that it was Bulldogs fans - or even any sort of football fan?

Seems to me they've added some of CityRail's other vandalism problems and tried to make it sound like the club's responsible for all of it.

Timmah, I'd like to know what you were doing Monday night :sarcasm: ;-)

It must piss you off that they just can't behave and insist on making the rest of the Fans look bad. If they thought about their actions, they would come to the same conclusion as you and me. I almost get the impression that this is the image they want to portray for their Fan base. I realise that its only a minority, but f**k they are an annoying bunch.
